The song was first released worldwide on October 20, 2017, as a single titled "'''Super Mario Odyssey - Jump Up, Super Star!'''" on the {{wp|iTunes Store}}. The song was also used in the {{wp|E3}} 2017 trailer for the game.

Nobuyoshi Suzuki, the sound designer of ''Super Mario Odyssey'', wrote the first draft of the lyrics in Japanese. According to [[Yoshiaki Koizumi]], the song had been created as a direct result of their developing the character of Pauline,<ref name=Reddit>{{cite|author=Koizumi, Yoshiaki|url=www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/6h9s6l/hi_im_mr_koizumi_producer_of_super_mario_odyssey/diwmhy5|title=Hi, I’m Mr. Koizumi, Producer of Super Mario Odyssey. AMA!|date=June 14, 2017|publisher=Reddit|accessdate=November 12, 2023}}</ref>and they had a discussion on whether words such as "[[Extra life|1UP]]" should be used. The music was finalized before any English lyrics were written. They sent all of the documents they had to the localization members to create the final lyrics, due to English being a more global language, as Koizumi stated.<ref name=Famitsu/> Early drafts of the lyrics were recorded as demos by Rob Tunstall, and these demos would be sent back to the Japanese team for feedback. Originally, the English lyrics had more obvious references to the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]], but the Japanese team requested that they should be as subtle as possible, resulting in a back-and-forth process of refinement between them and the localization members. The lyrics were finalized with less than three weeks to go before the recording session.<ref>{{cite|url=nintendotreehouse.tumblr.com/post/167703261242/localizing-jump-up-super-star|title=Localizing “Jump Up, Super Star!”|author=Rob T.|publisher=Tumblr|language=en|accessdate=July 2, 2024}}</ref>

The English version was the first to be recorded<ref name=SongwriterAimi>[[Talk:Jump Up, Super Star!#Aimi Mukohara's Email|Email response from Aimi Mukohara]] on June 22, 2018</ref> with voice actress Kate Higgins providing the vocals. According to herself, Cup of Tea Productions, Inc. was in charge of the voice acting. When asked if she was interested in doing the voice, she agreed and auditioned for the role by sending samples of her voice to [[Nintendo]] of Japan, and she was ultimately selected for the role. Weeks before the recording session, Nintendo of Japan sent her a demo sung by an unknown Japanese singer and a lead sheet, with the music already recorded. Several people from Japan and America were present in the final recording.<ref>{{cite|author=Hilliard, Kyle|date=October 27, 2017|url=www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2017/10/27/kate-higgins-on-playing-pauline-and-recording-quot-jump-up-superstar-quot-for-super-mario-odyssey.aspx|title=Kate Higgins On Playing Pauline And Singing "Jump Up Superstar" For Super Mario Odyssey|language=en|publisher=GameInformer|accessdate=July 2, 2024|archive=web.archive.org/web/20171029030548/https://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2017/10/27/kate-higgins-on-playing-pauline-and-recording-quot-jump-up-superstar-quot-for-super-mario-odyssey.aspx|deadlink=y}}</ref>

For the Japanese version, the Nintendo Sound Team already had some candidates, but after the team listened to her YouTube videos, songwriter Aimi Mukohara was chosen to do the vocals. All the Nintendo Sound Team was present at the moment of recording. This is the first time Mukohara was involved with the music of any video game.<ref name=SongwriterAimi/>

The song uses an upbeat, big-band jazz style and is most notable for being the first song from the mainline [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]] to feature lyrics, something rarely heard in songs from games of the overall ''Super Mario'' franchise. The song has [[Pauline]] detailing an adventure across the [[world]]s of ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', referring to herself as [[Mario]]'s "1UP girl." The lyrics are also printed on the inside of the game case for all regions.

''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' features several arrangements and remixes of "Jump Up, Super Star!" During the story mission [[A Fresh Start for the City]], each of the four [[Band (Super Mario Odyssey)|band]] members around the [[Metro Kingdom]] can be heard playing their respective parts of "Jump Up, Super Star!" when approached.

 

The theme heard on the game's title screen is a simplified instrumental arrangement of "Jump Up, Super Star!" titled 「'''タイトル'''」 (''Taitoru'', "Title") in the [[Super Mario Odyssey Original Soundtrack|game's Japanese soundtrack]].

A variation of "Jump Up, Super Star!" titled "'''NDC Festival'''" plays during [[A Traditional Festival!]] and on the main surface of the [[Darker Side]]. It features a much longer intro than the original version. Upon [[Mario]] collecting the [[Multi Moon]], a fanfare arrangement of the song, titled 「'''伝統のフェスティバル終了!'''」 (''Dentō no Fesutibaru Shūryō!'', "End of the Traditional Festival!") in the Japanese soundtrack, plays instead of the standard Multi Moon fanfare.

A version of "NDC Festival" with Japanese lyrics titled "'''NDC Festival (Japanese)'''" can be played on [[boombox]]es in the [[Metro Kingdom]] and [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]] after Mario hits them with [[Cappy]]. This version has its own unique lyrics that differ from the international version.

A {{wp|music box}} arrangement of "Jump Up, Super Star!" titled 「'''Jump Up, Super Star! <small>オルゴールバージョン</small>'''」 (''Jump Up, Super Star! <small>Orugōru Bājon</small>'', "Jump Up, Super Star! <small>Music Box Version</small>") in the game's Japanese soundtrack may play when Mario jumps on the globe of the [[Odyssey]].

 

 

"NDC Festival" is featured as a playable track in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', where it can be played on any [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.''-series]] and [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario''-franchise]] stage. It is titled "Jump Up, Super Star!" in the Sounds section of the Vault and "'''Jump Up, Super Star! (Full Band Performance)'''" in the My Music menu for the [[New Donk City Hall (stage)|New Donk City Hall]] stage. It also plays in Mario's character trailer.

"NDC Festival" (both with and without vocals) is one of the alarms in the ''Super Mario Odyssey'' theme for [[Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo]], and the Multi Moon fanfare arrangement plays when the user gets out of bed.<ref>Nintendo of America (October 9, 2024). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMqWTkgDt6A Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo – Announcement Trailer]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved October 10, 2024.</ref>

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the [[New Donk City Hall (stage)|New Donk City Hall]] stage features two separate versions of "Jump Up, Super Star!" in My Music: "Jump Up, Super Star!" and "Jump Up, Super Star! (Full Band Performance)." If the former is selected, only the drums are heard as only the drummer appears in the plaza, while [[Pauline]] and the rest of the [[Band (Super Mario Odyssey)|band]] members randomly appear throughout the match. Passing by them recruits them to perform their part in the song and appear in the plaza, similar to how their separate parts can be heard during the mission [[A Fresh Start for the City]] in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. If the latter song is selected, the song plays as is, and the performers are absent from the stage.

In ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', "Jump Up, Super Star!" is referenced in several of [[Pauline]]'s voice lines. When unlocking Pauline, she sings her name to the tune of the theme. When using a [[Glide Ramp]], she will sometimes sing the "high up in the sky" line. During the race, she will times sing the "jump with me" line, and will either speak or sing "I'm a 1UP gal," which is a variation of the line "I'll be your 1UP girl."

On October 28th, 2017, the official [[Nintendo]] [[LINE]] account published a version of "Jump Up, Super Star!" sung by [[Kinopio-kun]] titled "'''Jump Up, Super Star! Short Version Free Download'''" along with a picture of Kinopio-kun dressed as [[Pauline]].<ref name=LINE>{{cite|language=en|author=Supper Mario Broth|date=October 19, 2018|url=www.suppermariobroth.com/post/179191925400/on-october-28th-2017-the-official-nintendo-line|title=On October 28th, 2017, the official Nintendo LINE account published an audio file titled “Jump Up, Super Star! Short Version Free Download”. The audio was a 47-second long sample of the background track of the “Jump Up, Super Star!” song from Super Mario Odyssey, with pitch-shifted Toad sound effects overlaid on top of it to resemble singing. The account then revealed that the song was supposed to be sung by Kinopio-kun, the green Toad mascot of the account, and posted a picture of Kinopio-kun dressed as Pauline (seen as the album art on this post).

"Jump Up, Super Star!" was performed during {{wp|The Game Awards 2017}} by the Game Awards Orchestra and [[Kate Higgins]] as part of a medley of music from the games nominated for {{wp|The Game Award for Game of the Year|Game of the Year}}.<ref name=GameAwards>{{cite|language=en|author=thegameawards|url=youtu.be/9ZrupMmjDi0?si=oRHLRNVTTR6GOGu3&t=191|timestamp=03:11|title=The Game Awards 2017 Orchestra and Game of the Year Winner: Zelda|date=December 8, 2017|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=November 11, 2023}}</ref>

''[[Super Mario Odyssey Sound Selection]]'', the international soundtrack album for ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', features three versions of "Jump Up, Super Star!" not heard in-game. A version of the original song titled "'''Jump Up, Super Star! <small>Japanese Version</small>'''" features Japanese lyrics. Shortened, instrumental versions of the song titled "'''Jump Up, Super Star! <small>[Instrumental Karaoke] (Short Version)</small>'''" and "'''Jump Up, Super Star! <small>Japanese Version [Instrumental Karaoke] (Short Version)</small>'''" only include the backing English and Japanese vocals, respectively, and end after the bridge.
